Barack Obama Gets His Blackberry Fix… With A Sectera Edge?

When Barack Obama was elected in, people were talking about his days of Blackberry usage were over. Who wants the President able to be tracked at all times, or his sensitive emails or texts intercepted and used for evil (the answer: terrorists)? Well, it looks like BHO is going to be able to keep his electronic love thanks to about seventeen geeks at the NSA who were working on a Sectera Edge (pictured) or L-3 Guardian deep in an underground bunker. These are the two phones are the NSA’s choice of PDA because they have enough security on them to be hacker-safe because both come from a Defense Department project called SME-PED, meaning Secure Mobile Environment Portable Electronic Device. Oh, and the cost if you want to copy Obama? The Sectera Edge comes in at a not-cheap cost of $3,300… and that’s with a two year contract. You figure that Obama needs a longer contract than that.
